I returned from a great, sunny week in Sardinia recently with 3 identical jars of local honey.
Nothing unusual in that - the Sardinian people are well known for their production of bitter sweet honey. The interesting thing was how we got them.
It seems that the hotels and agriturismos of Alghero and Olbia have discovered the combined power of honey and the internet in pulling in overseas visitors. Specifically www.tripadvisor.com where, in return for each delicious jar of honey, we were kindly asked to post our glowing reviews of each of the 3 places we stayed.
Three different places. Three identical jars of honey. Maybe the honey farmer is the real smart guy here.
Anyway, they got their reviews (and in this case they were all great) and I have got a couple of early Christmas presents. So all good.
And for the record, this was the best hotel of the 3 – Hotel Lucrezia near Oristano.
